- 1痛斥；嚴厲譴責
Castigation is the harsh criticism, or the severe punishment, itself — the noun that sits next to the verb castigate. Same formal, written feel. If a leader faces public castigation, many people are attacking them in words. Though actually, like the verb, today's use is almost always about blame and , not about beating someone.
